question about testing tools

[Ralf Pantförder]

Hi Jonathan,
does the book cover tools for automated GUI testing, especially JMeter and Selenium?
Thanks for your reply.
Cheers
Ralf

No it doesn't Ralf. It doesn't really focus on any tools at all.
RSpec and Ruby on Rails are used in the examples. But it's not an RSpec Ruby on Rails book either.

I am not a fan of the focusing on the tools because the tools change so quickly and they don't really matter.

My goal for the book is to turn you into such a tester that once know the basics and the fundamentals, the tools themselves don't really matter.

At that point you can use any tool. It's just a means to an end.

Good luck!
